About Showering Ferrets: Kevin - I showered with one of my ferrets last night for the first time! The first bath Emma ever got (in a big bowl), she sat still, but baths after that drove her crazy and she would thrash like a demon to get out. In the shower, though, she was still and let me hold her and shampoo her...Worked _very_ well! Collars: Someone (Lars, I think) suggested making collars out of ball chains - that sounds interesting...but would the fuzzy be able to get out of it if he needed to? Ball chains are much thinner and harder than nylon or leather or homemade elastic collars, and could probably do more damage if it got hung up on something... Input, anyone?? Emma (aka Houdinette) has gotten out of every collar I've ever put on her, from nylon to homemade elastic. Then she hides them. (sigh).... -joyce (But Emma, it's what all the well-dressed ferrets are wearing this year!) -Emma (i refuse to be a slave to fashion) -Seth the Mighty (youre just mad because you had to have a bath ha ha ha) -Devilbunny Melissa (Peons. You're both stinky peons. And I'm up high now where you can't get to me, so nyah.) [Posted in FML issue 1444]
